FGR FGR proto-oncogene, Src family tyrosine kinase

Gene ID: 2268, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: SRC2; c-fgr; c-src2; p55-Fgr; p58-Fgr; p55c-fgr; p58c-fgr

Summary

This gene is a member of the Src family of protein tyrosine kinases (PTKs). The encoded protein contains N-terminal sites for myristylation and palmitylation, a PTK domain, and SH2 and SH3 domains which are involved in mediating protein-protein interactions with phosphotyrosine-containing and proline-rich motifs, respectively. The protein localizes to plasma membrane ruffles, and functions as a negative regulator of cell migration and adhesion triggered by the beta-2 integrin signal transduction pathway. Infection with Epstein-Barr virus results in the overexpression of this gene. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
